With the rising popularity of vegan meals amongst its
customers, Emirates is celebrating Veganuary on board by including an
additional plant-based option on its menus for the month of January.
While vegan meals can be pre-booked on all flights and
classes, this is the first time Emirates is including a readily available vegan
option on its menus. The plant-based meal is available as a fourth main course
option in First and Business Class menus on flights from Dubai to USA, Europe,
Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Addis Ababa. Due to popular demand,
Emirates is also offering a vegan option in Economy on flights to Addis Ababa
this month. Veganuary is a worldwide movement, to encourage veganism especially
in January.
Last year, Emirates served 345,000 special plant-based meals
to customers on board. The airline has over 170 vegan recipes in its kitchen
and for January will be serving some new dishes such as:
On all other routes and across all classes, customers can
continue to request vegan meals, along with other special meals, 24 hours
before departure.
Emirates vegan meals are created by its team of chefs and
nutritionists and come complete with vegan desserts. A special vegan cheese was
also introduced in Economy Class and the airline has a vegan option as part of
its gourmet chocolate programme in premium classes.
For customers who are less inclined towards a plant-based
diet, Emirates regular menus are also whipped up by award-winning chefs. The
airline serves over 110 million meals on board each year, with the same
attention to detail given to creating delightful dishes in Economy, Business or
First Class. Catering for more than 55 million dine-in guests a year travelling
to and from over 140 cities across 6 continents, no one understands global
culinary trends better than Emirates as it serves destination-inspired cuisine
on board the worlds largest flying restaurant.
